I built a few grazing boxes in the run to allow fresh greens for the girls, too. (I did manage to convert the tops of the pallets into small garden planters, though.) Originally, I was going to put two more 4′ x 8′ garden beds next to the two beds I already have, but I decided to sacrifice that growing space for the chickens to create a pallet chicken coop extension for them. We don’t have the option to let them free range in our yard because we don’t have a fence at the property line. A pallet chicken run seemed like the best way to extend the area for our girls.Īlthough our chickens do have a roomy outdoor area that’s completely enclosed, I still feel like they don’t have as much space as they need. Why pallets? Because they’re pretty readily available for free. The latest project at our backyard homestead was building a cheap chicken run out of pallets. You know how they say once you become a homeowner, the projects never stop? I’m pretty sure that applies to a homestead (no matter how large or small) as well.
It’s essentially a DIY pallet fence, secured to their chicken coop. Building a recycled pallet chicken run is a great way to create cheap chicken coop extension for your hens.
